Timber Supplies for Building, Joinery & Landscaping
Rose Building Supplies is an independent builders' and timber merchant supplying a wide range of building timber, structural timber, treated timber and sheet materials for construction, roofing, joinery, fencing, landscaping and DIY projects.
Whether you need timber for a new build, extension, roof, stud wall, floor, garden project or general repair, our range includes C24 structural timber, treated carcassing timber, CLS studwork, sawn timber, roofing battens, planed timber, plywood, MDF, OSB, chipboard flooring, decking boards, timber sleepers and posts.
Structural Timber, C24 Timber & Carcassing
For structural building work, we supply graded timber suitable for a variety of construction applications. Our range includes C24 carcassing timber, treated structural timber and CLS timber in a choice of commonly used sections and lengths.
C24 timber is commonly specified for structural applications such as timber framing, roof construction, joists and other load-bearing work where the appropriate grade and specification are required. CLS timber has a smooth, regularised profile with rounded edges and is widely used for stud walls, partitions, framing and general internal construction.
Always check the individual product specification and your project requirements when selecting structural timber, particularly where a particular strength grade, treatment or finished dimension is required.
Treated Timber for Building & Outdoor Projects
Treated timber is commonly chosen where additional protection against decay is required. We stock treated carcassing, sawn treated timber and other treated timber products suitable for a wide range of construction and landscaping applications.
Treated timber can be used for projects including timber frames, decking substructures, fencing, garden structures and other suitable external applications. If treated timber is cut during installation, exposed cut ends may require an appropriate end-grain preservative treatment depending on the product and application.
Sawn Timber & Roofing Battens
Our sawn timber range includes timber for building, landscaping and general site work, alongside roofing battens for suitable roof construction and repair projects.
Timber sizes can be described using nominal or finished dimensions, so always check the individual product page when a precise finished size is important for your project.
Planed Timber, Joinery Timber & Mouldings
For joinery and finishing work, browse our range of machined softwood, planed square edge timber (PSE), softwood mouldings, skirting, architrave, door linings and MDF mouldings.
These timber products are suited to jobs such as internal joinery, trims, finishing work, shelving, frames, renovation projects and general woodworking.
Adhesives for Timber & Joinery
For suitable timber fixing and joinery work, browse our wood glue and grab adhesives. These can be useful for mouldings, trims, timber components and other suitable fixing applications alongside mechanical fixings where required.
Plywood, MDF, OSB & Timber Sheet Materials
We also stock a range of timber sheet materials for construction and joinery projects, including plywood sheets, MDF boards, OSB boards and chipboard flooring.
Different sheet materials are suited to different applications. Plywood offers a versatile layered timber board, OSB is widely used for construction and sheathing applications, while MDF provides a smooth and consistent surface commonly used for interior joinery and finishing projects.
Check the individual product description before ordering to ensure the board type, thickness and specification are suitable for your intended application.
Timber for Decking, Gardens & Landscaping
Our timber range is not limited to building work. We also supply timber decking boards, timber sleepers and treated timber posts for landscaping and garden projects.
These can be used for projects including decking, raised beds, garden borders, planters, retaining features, pergolas and other garden structures. We also stock a wider range of fencing supplies, including fence panels, posts, rails, screening battens, gates and trellis.
Which Timber Do I Need?
The right timber depends on where it will be used and what it needs to do.
C24 structural timber is commonly used where graded timber is required for structural construction. CLS timber is popular for stud walls and internal framing. Treated timber is generally chosen for suitable applications where improved durability is required, while planed and machined timber provides a smoother finish for joinery and visible finishing work.
For sheet materials, the right choice between plywood, OSB, MDF and chipboard will depend on the application, required thickness, strength, finish and exposure conditions.
If you are unsure which timber grade, size or sheet material you require, contact our team before ordering and we can help you identify a suitable product from our range.
